analysis of doc.

I found this documentary called ‘ Iraq in fragments’ on MSN movies, it released on January the 18th. 1hr 36min

This is a Documentary by filmmaker ‘James Longley' the documentary features shadows of ordinary Iraqi citizens in three crucial yet fractured regions-Baghdad; the Shiite south; the Kurdish north-as they struggle through a chaotic present and face a distant, uncertain future.

He shows the crisis in Baghdad, and then moves into the south of Iraq- where political arguments raise, and young Shiite men take themselves to the streets to enforce religious laws.
In the northern Kurdish countryside, he shows how the local people e.g. a farmer, is grateful to America for removing Saddam, and then basically interviews the farmer, which makes him reflect over the future of his family and people, as his son tends sheep and dreams of becoming a doctor.

I can say this documentary links with ours, (yet I haven’t seen it, but read about it) because we are trying to show the background of the country and how it has been changed after Saddams death, plus we will be interviewing some people who have been affected by this. Here below is the trailer of the doc.
